This will allow attorneys and litigants to stay informed about the progress of their cases and ensure that deadlines are met.In addition to improving efficiency, the electronic filing system is also expected to reduce costs associated with paper filing, such as printing and mailing expenses. This cost-saving measure is especially important as the court continues to face budget constraints.The North Carolina Administrative Law Court is encouraging all attorneys and litigants to familiarize themselves with the new electronic filing system and take advantage of the benefits it offers. Training sessions will be available to help users navigate the system and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.Overall, the implementation of this new electronic filing system is seen as a positive step forward for the North Carolina Administrative Law Court, aligning with the court's commitment to innovation and excellence in administrative law.
